What do you think about a 50 year old woman having sex with an 18 year old? weird or okay?

OP posts:

Predator.

BettyRizzoSlaps · 21/10/2025 14:50

Absolutely not ok. He may be legally an adult but that's revolting.

Sakura7 · 21/10/2025 14:51

Ick 🤢

Tamfs · 21/10/2025 14:51

I view this exactly the same way as a 50yo man and 18yo woman. Creepy and predatory.

Is it you OP or someone else?

MrsTerryPratchett · 21/10/2025 14:52

Utterly repugnant.

ladybird30 · 21/10/2025 14:53

A little weird. An 18 year old is hardly a man... And you (I assume it's you) are old enough to be their mother. Imagine if it was your 18 year old child...

Deadringer · 21/10/2025 14:53

Ick, ick, and thrice ick.

Silverbirchleaf · 21/10/2025 14:53

Err, no.

Pleasegetmeacoffeesotired · 21/10/2025 14:53

Gross.

BigBilly · 21/10/2025 14:54

I think most of not all people would find this dynamic unpalatable

takealettermsjones · 21/10/2025 14:54

Weird and wrong. Is the 18yo your DS?

Hello Andrew

Agix · 21/10/2025 14:54

I'm 36 and the thought of getting anywhere near close to an 18 year old is gross to me. And I consider myself an immature 36 year old...

I can't imagine what must be wrong with the 50 year old woman to feel attracted to a child (legal adult sure, but 18 is still so young looking and acting!!).

I agree with the predator comment.

YesImaman1100 · 21/10/2025 14:54

Wish I had a50 year old woman to show me the ropes when I was 18.

I'm sore he will be fine, do him quick smart!

CharlieKirkRIP · 21/10/2025 14:54

Grim.

BruisedNeckMeat · 21/10/2025 14:54

Vile, disgusting, predatory.

I have a DS who is not far off 18 and although he may soon legally be an adult, he is mentally and emotionally far from being described as a man.

Exactly as @Tamfs says!
Also a 50yr old man with an 18yr old man, or 50yr old woman with 18yr old woman.

As I am 50 and have an 18yr old son, I find this particularly off 🤮 Definitely predator vibes, not the cougar vibes that Hollywood tries to sell.

AnonKat · 21/10/2025 14:55

Gross. Im in my 30s and view 18 year old as teenagers. They could be on son! Its not ok in the slightest.

WFHforevermore · 21/10/2025 14:55

As long as both consenting, what difference does age make??

Hello Andrew

😂

Pleasedontdothat · 21/10/2025 14:55

Just as repugnant as the other way around …

Said every creepy predator ever.

zazazaaar · 21/10/2025 14:55

I have an 18 year old. Its actually sick making. He and his friends are barely adults.
